Well, I *could* simply boot one of the three CentOS kernels in GRUB's
repertoire just as I do on those rare occasions I boot. I was hoping
someone could point me to a utility that will undo the LVM mess
permanently. I think I've figured out a way to accomodate my current
need to have my data available when booted into KNOPPIX but I won't be
able to try until tomorrow.
